From
Christians to New Agers, skeptics to historians, the world is presently
enthralled with what will happen during and following the year 2012. In
general, the excitement (or dread, as the case may be) surrounds a variety
of predictions made by ancient and modern sources concerning a portentous
moment in time. Mankind has entered
a period of unprecedented global upheaval, according to these experts,
when the earth and all life on it will undergo apocalyptica marked by
the end of the “thirteenth baktun” of the Mesoamerican Mayan
Long Count. The exact end date of this calendar is December 21, 2012,
when during the winter solstice at 11:11, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), the
New Age crowd says the sun will align with the galactic center of the
Milky Way galaxy, an event that occurs only every thirteen thousand years.
The precession of the equinoxes will conclude a twenty-six-thousand-year
cycle, bringing the astrological Age of Pisces to an end and introducing
the beginning of Aquarius, when the next cycle begins and the sun rises
out of the mouth of the Ouroboros (great serpent of the Milky Way). This
is the sun rising in Sagittarius, the centaur with a bow—the symbol
for Nimrod coming out from the mouth of Leviathan and the sun “god”
rising again—Apollo/Osiris. The Mayans predicted this conjunction,
interpreting it as a harbinger of the end of the world as we know it and
the beginning of a new “enlightened” pagan age. People from
the world’s greatest religions including Christianity and Islam
also see current global developments as potential omens of an end-times
scenario leading to the Apocalypse. This includes catholic mystics who
believe in the Prophecy of the Popes.

On this
order and as discussed in an earlier entry, the Catholic seer who in 2002
correctly predicted that the pope succeeding John Paul II would be named
Benedict XVI, Ronald L. Conte Jr., believes the next pope will be Cardinal
Francis Arinze and that he will take the name Pius XIII. This name (Pius)
is associated historically with popes who emphasized authoritative doctrine
during their pontificates. Cardinal Arinze fits this description, and
Conte interprets this qualification as best fulfilling “Peter the
Roman” as a pope who “will reaffirm the authority of the Roman
Pontiff over the Church; this authority is based on his place as a Successor
of Peter” and “will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic
Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations,
and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world.”
To this, Conte adds, “During the reign of Pope Peter the Roman,
the great apostasy begins” and this pope will mark “the first
part of the tribulation, during our generation.”[1] Conte envisions
this apocalypse beginning in 2012 when, as he sees it, Benedict is assassinated
and is replaced by Petrus Romanus. This is followed by a series of cascading
events resulting in World War III, which is triggered when Iranian-backed
terrorists explode a nuclear bomb in New York City. The Great Tribulation
begins, and by July 2013, Rome is destroyed when it is struck by a nuclear
missile.

Elsewhere
in our upcoming book we have meticulously investigated a French codex
entitled, La Mystérieuse Prophétie des Papes (“The
Mysterious Prophecy of the Popes”), issued in 1951 by a Jesuit priest
and mathematician named René Thibaut (1883–1952). Among his
astonishing findings—hidden to the modern world until the publishing
of our work—Thibaut found concealed in the Prophecy of the Popes
a clever number of word plays that form many acrostics and anagrams.[2]
An example of one of the linguistic codes may hold cryptic agreement with
Ronald L. Conte’s conclusion that Petrus Romanus will take the name
Pius. The code is discovered in the Latin text “Peregrinus apostolicus”[3]
which was the prophecy for the ninety-sixth pope on the list, Pius VI.
The anagram not only reveals the papal name, it does so twice: PeregIinUS
aPostolIcUS. This appearance of the name “Pius” is rather
astounding considering we have a published copy dated almost two hundred
years before Pius VI was elected. But Thibaut suggests the repetition
serves as an even farther-reaching poetic refrain. In other words, “Pius!
Pius!” is similar to the excited binary “Mayday, Mayday!”
that sailors cry out in dire circumstances[4] and which may have prophetic
implications concerning the name of the final pope on the list [Editors
note: Thibaut's book in French and an English translation will be provided
free with numerous other research works exclusively from Raiders News
Update with the release of Petrus
Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here].

In addition
to being associated with Roman authoritarianism and cryptogramed in the
Prophecy of the Popes, Conte bolsters his prognostication concerning the
name “Pius” by pointing to the electrifying visions of another
pope named Pius—Pope Pius X who served as pope from 1903 to 1914
and who saw a papal successor carrying the same name Pius fleeing Rome
over the bodies of dead priests at the onset of the end times. Pius X
is widely reported to have said:

What
I have seen is terrifying! Will I be the one, or will it be a successor?
What is certain is that the Pope will leave Rome and, in leaving the
Vatican, he will have to pass over the dead bodies of his priests! Do
not tell anyone this while I am alive.[5]

In a
second vision during an audience with the Franciscan order in 1909, Pope
Pius X appeared to fall into a trance. After a few moments, he opened
his eyes and rose to his feet, announcing:

I
have seen one of my successors, of the same name [a future pope named
Pius], who was fleeing over the dead bodies of his brethren. He will
take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will
die a cruel death. Respect for God has disappeared from human hearts.
They wish to efface even God’s memory. This perversity is nothing
less than the beginning of the last days of the world.[6]

The
third part of the Secret of Fatima, which was supposedly released in total
by the Vatican June 26, 2000, seems to echo the visions of Pius X. A section
of the material reads:

…before
reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins
and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow,
he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached
the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he
was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him,
and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops,
Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different
ranks and positions.[7]

The
conceptual framework of these visions and their validity is volatile among
many Catholics who believe Rome is complicit in an intentional cover-up
involving the true Third Secret of Fatima as well as other suppressed
Catholic foresights that are rife with wildly different predictions concerning
the future prophetic role of the Roman Catholic Church. Marian apparitions,
visions by popes, interpretations by cardinals of the apocalypse, and
approved mystical prophecies often stand at odds with recent Vatican publications.
Even the “Catechism of the Catholic Church” approved by the
Church and promulgated by Pope John Paul II (released in English in 1994,
the first catechism in more than four hundred years), which draws on the
Bible, the Mass, the sacraments, traditions, teachings, and the lives
of the saints, states under the section The Church’s Ultimate Trial:

675
Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final
trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that
accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the mystery of iniquity
in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution
to their problems at the price of apostasy from the Truth. The supreme
religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by
which man glorifies himself in the place of God and his Messiah who
has come in the flesh.[8]

Possibly
at the center of this prophecy and a “Vatican cover-up” of
the complete vision of Fatima (and related prophecies) is a second and
potentially more powerful papal contender for the role of Petrus Romanus
or “Peter the Roman”—Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro (Peter)
Bertone, who was born in Romano (the Roman) Canavese (“Peter the
Roman”). Among other things, Cardinal Bertone is, at the time our
new investigative book on this subject Petrus
Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here heads to the printer, second in command
at the Vatican.

As the
Secretary of State and the Pope’s Camerlengo (Italian for “Chamberlain”),
he is responsible during a papal vacancy to serve as acting Head of State
of the Vatican City until “the time of agreement” and the
election of a new pope. Our interest for the moment is with his 2007 work,
The Last Seer of Fatima that appears to have accomplished exactly the
opposite of its primary objective, mainly, to refute another work by famous
Italian media personality, journalist, and author Antonio Socci, whose
manuscript The Fourth Secret of Fatima claims the Holy See has repressed
information concerning the true secrets delivered in Marian apparitions
to three shepherd children in the rural Portuguese village of Fatima in
1917. The three young people were Lúcia (Lucy) dos Santos and her
cousins Francisco Marto and his sister Jacinta Marto, whose visions—containing
elements of prophecy and eschatology—are officially sanctioned by
the Catholic Church.

We continue
the investigation into Cardinal Bertone and the hidden secret of Fatima
in the next entry. What does this have to do with the election of Petrus
Romanus? A lot, according to those now assembling at the Vatican in preparation
of Conclave...

Over the last decade, he has authored three books,
wrote dozens of published editorials, and had several feature magazine
articles. In addition to past articles at NewsWithViews.com , his
works have been referred to by writers of the LA Times Syndicate, MSNBC,
Christianity Today, Coast to Coast, World Net Daily, White House Correspondents
and dozens of newsmagazines and press agencies around the globe. Tom's
latest book is "The Ahriman Gate," which fictionalizes the use of biotechnology
to resurrect Biblical Nephilim.

Thomas is also a well known radio personality
who has guest-hosted and appeared on dozens of radio and television shows
over the last 30 years, including "The 700 Club" and "Coast to Coast AM."
When looking for a spokesperson to promote their film "Deceived" staring
Louis Gossett Jr. and Judd Nelson, "Cloud 10 Pictures" selected Thomas
as their spokesperson to explain the Christian viewpoint on UFO-related
demonology.
